After a slow December at the sales charts, January brings new vigour at the showrooms. Keeping the sales momentum running though is a tough task and most dealers resort to heavy discounting to keep pushing cars quickly off the shelf in February. Hatchbacks are the largest segment in the country and competition is cut-throat. Some cars like the Swift and Grand i10 are doing exceedingly well so it’s hard to find a good offer on these cars but there are many underperforming cars that require a carrot to entice car buyers to consider them. Here are the top ten cars with the best discounts and offers in the small car segment.
1. Maruti Suzuki A-Star
The A-Star is possibly the slowest selling Maruti and with the Celerio around, it just doesn’t make for a good purchase unless you get a sumptuous discount. And that’s exactly what you get - Rs 67,000 on each variant.

2. Tata Indica Vista
The dismal sales run for Tata Motors has put the Vista on a perennial discount. But with the recent updates, the Vista makes for a smart buy. The Rs 45,000 cash discount and Rs 15 thousand exchange bonus is one of the best deals you can get on a hatchback too.

3. Maruti Wagon R Stingray
The Wagon R and the Stingray are strong selling models for Maruti but it seems that the Celerio is turning on the heat on these two cars too. The Stingray is going with a huge discount of around Rs 57,000.

4. Maruti Wagon R
The Wagon R like the Stingray is being offered at a tempting discount of Rs 52,000. The city slick Wagon R has excellent resale value so you are in effect getting a better deal than most cars on this list.

5. Tata Nano
The cheapest car in the world is even cheaper with the Rs 45,000 worth deals on offer. That’s more than 20 percent off the price of the car. Is this entry level car segment shrinking? We think so, because the Alto 800 too is available at a similar discount indicating lesser demand for these cars.

6. Ford Figo
The Figo is the most capable car on this list but is showing its age. Even after its latest refresh, some bright colours and interesting features like WiFi connectivity in the car, Ford isn’t able to draw as many prospective customers to its showrooms as it would like. So the Figo is going for discounts between Rs38,000 to Rs 45,000 depending on the variant.

7. Maruti Alto 800
The Alto sells like hot cakes but there’s always some deal on it. Like most Maruti offers, the Alto 800 gets a cash discount bundled with an exchange bonus and corporate discount on it totaling to Rs 42,000. The K10 though doesn’t have any offers on it.

8. Maruti Ritz
The Ritz feels like the Swift’s neglected sibling on the sales charts. Now with the new Swift, Maruti hasn’t updated the Ritz so it’s not surprising that it doesn’t sell as well. But that means it is coming with some good deals, especially on the diesel trims that go up to Rs 42,000. The petrols are available at a mere Rs 22,000 discount though showing increased demand for the petrol models with the reducing gap between the two fuels.

9. Chevrolet Beat
Chevrolet has recently given the Beat a facelift and is continuing to give deals worth Rs 33,000 on all its variants. This is possibly to combat Maruti’s Celerio. The Celerio has ruffled a lot of feathers with its pricing and AMT transmission and cars like the Figo, Beat and i10 fall in its crosshairs.
